Adventure Toes - May 2008

Virgin blog...

May 6th 2008 02:01

It is quite a rewarding challenge to enter a new place and blend in with its charms. I have immersed myself into many diverse and alien cultures and found that the thrill of the fight within to rise above the confusion and become accepted to be both intellectually stimulating as well as a pulse racing, adrenalin charged experience. Once the barriers have been lifted somewhat, the relief is like a rush of endorphins pulsing through the body and a wave of satisfaction acts as a stimulant to search and conquer even greater challenges. Travellers who have felt the immense dread involved with "culture shock" and decided to fight the feeling rather than flee the situation will know what I mean. I have grown to love every place I have been, even though the first impressions were not always favourable. To overcome the fear and awe of such a great jolt to the system - you must meet it head-on. Once I learnt this, I found that such adverities were more easily overcome, but to find more extreme places with which to test your resolve became more scarce.

I have decided to write a blog pertaining to my initial steps along paths which I could not fathom until I started walking down those roads. Nothing can prepare you fully for the experience until you start to test the water...

I guess it can happen anywhere in any place which feels totally alien to you...
